Alibaba.com applies in work and implements its own software by which the enterprise is managed, and also has a large, database database database with information on goods and organizations.

Founded by the company in 1999 by Jack Ma and 17 of his companions, in the same place in China registered their site alibaba.com. Initially, Alibaba was created as a site for trading of companies (small and medium), as well as for trade online. In the spring of 2011, the number of users registered on the site numbered 65 million people living in 240 countries and regions.

According to Iresearch (China) for 2006, Alibaba Group was the largest companies in B2B online. The basis for such an application is the number of registered users and% in China's market in terms of profits.

Hello in the last article We have done with representatives of Alibaba. That instruction is more for JUR. persons and sip, and in this article I will tell you how to find a supplier on Alibabe and order a product through an intermediary. This option is just suitable for simple physical. Persons with small lots of goods.

In fact, in China, suppliers have accounts on all sites:, Alibaba, etc. Therefore, sell you the goods they can through any site. But everyone likes to look for Alibaba, because you can search in Russian or English (preferably English).

The scheme is as follows:

  1. You registered on Alibaba;
  2. Find the supplier and goods you need;
  3. Send a request for relevant prices for your quantity of goods;
  4. After the supplier has come to contact and you have agreed to price, write what you want your partner (intermediary) to take the goods in China. To do this, ask him a link to the profile on Taobao or 1688 (and better immediately to the goods chosen by you) and agree on the transaction to spend 1688 or Taobao website;
  5. Throw off the order to my intermediary (but you can find it);
  6. The mediator redeems and delivers you as described in this article.

Thus, you can find the supplier and goods themselves, agree on the price and bring a small batch of goods through the mediator. And then you do not need to look for a transport company with the possibility of customs clearance, because the intermediary delivery and transport of goods across the border takes over.

You do not think that something is illegally here. Just this work scheme is familiar with many small buyers who do not want to mess around with customs and those who are used to working with an intermediary.

For example. Site 1688 This is also a wholesale site, but it is aimed only at the internal market of China. But prices there are the same as on Alibaby (plus-minus). If you, then you need to bargain and reduce this price.

If you compare the conditions of delivering an intermediary, then you do not overpay practically. Transport company for customs clearance you will give up no less than 10% for the purchase of goods to the intermediary. Delivery of an intermediary (250 r. For 1 kg on average) will cost almost also in transport companies.

The only thing that this scheme is not beneficial to you is when you. At least from 300 kg. Weight. This is an exemplary digit and read for everyone individually. Compare how it will be profitable for you.

What is the minus of this scheme? He is one and some critical. As you remember everything, you have no documents for the goods, because the mediator redeems the goods for you, as for physical. Persons. Therefore, if you work officially and you need to report for the goods that entered the warehouse, then choose the scheme inside Alibaba, which we wrote about.

Remember an important thing! Always try on any recommendations and tips on your specific situation. Only so you can understand, it will be profitable for you or not. Always consider compare, analyze and then make a decision.

That's all I wanted to say today.

Thanks for attention!
